STANDARDLAMP F GANDELABRA TYPE.

Application filed February 17, 1928. Serialv No. 255,065.v

My invention relates to improvements in standard lamps of candelabratype,;and the object of the invention is to devise a simple, and cheapstructure which may be easily as of the arrangement and construction ofparts as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Fig. 1 is a side elevation showing the upper portion of alamp standardwith my structure carried thereon.

Figs. 2 and 3 are enlarged perspective details of the members whichtogether-form the central body containing the controlling switch andsupporting at each side thereof the candle fixtures.

Fig. 4 is'a plan sectional view through the central body and the candlefixtures connect ed thereto.

Fig. 5 is a. vertical section through the body showing its connection tothe upper end of the lamp standard and to the low-er end of the shadesupport.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail of the universal.

joint connection between the shade supporting standard and the upperfinial end thereof.

In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding partsin each figure.

1 indicates a lamp standard of usual construction provided at its upperend with a reduced portion 2 over which fits an inverted cupped member 3secured thereto by screws 4. The upper portion of the inverted cuppedmember 3 is formed with a central internally threaded orifice 5.

6 is an exteriorly threaded nipple which is screwed at its lower-endinto the internally threaded orifice 5, the upper portion projectingupwardly from the cupped member 3. 7 and 8 are two members which whensecured together form a central body carried by the lamp standard andsupporting candle fixtures 9 and 10. The portions 7 and 8 when placedtogether form a hollow body containing a. switch 11 operated by acontrolling handle 12 extending through a front orifice 13 in the centreof the member 7 I do not describe the construction of the switch 11 andits handle 12 in detail. as it is an; ordinary tumbler type of switclrThe member 7 is providedwith upwardly and downwardly extending neckport-ions 14 and 15 respectively forming half orifices 16 and 17. Fromeach side of these portions extend lateral wing portions 18 and 19.

20 and 21 are edge flangesextending along. the upper edge of the member7 from the half orifice 16: and terminating at the end of each wing 18and 19. 22 and: 23 are flanges extending upwardly from the half orifice17 along the edge of the lower portion of the member 7 and terminatingat the base of each wing portion 18 and19 to-form ahalf orifice betweenthe extremity of the flanges 20 and 22andx21 ande23.

The. member 8 is similarly formed to the member 7 with the exceptionthat at the extremity of each neck portion 1 1 and 15* are formed collarlike portions 24 and :25 which are provided with internally threadedorifices 26 andt27.

lVhe-n' the members 7 and 8' are assembled together the neck portions 14and 1-5 fit against the corresponding neck portions 14* and 15 -so thatthe opposingv edge flanges-of. such neck portions fit one against theother and form an interior hollow containing space for-the switch 11.The half orifices wings 18 and '19 of both members 7 and 8 when fittedtogether form a complete opening through which the lead wires fromtheswitch 11 extend so as to pass to the'light source of thecandlefixtures 9'and 10.

The member 7 is DI'OXldGd with orifices 28 and at each side of t ecentre thereof, and the member 8 with correspondingly positioned studs29 provided with internally threaded orifices 29*.

30 are screws which pass through the orifices 28 into the internallythreaded orifices 29 so as to secure the members 7 and 8 together.

At the lower end of each half openingof the member 8 corresponding tothe half openings formed by the Wings 18 and 19 of the member 7 arelocated horizontally extending bosses 31 and 32 each provided withinternally threaded orifices 33. 34 is a screw which extends througheach candle fixture into the internally threaded orifice 33 to securethe fixture thereto.

The vertical edge portions of the outwardly of the at its upper end theupper end of the lamp standard 1.-

,es L

ing standard extending upwardly from the body centrally betweenthecandle fixtures.

2. In a standard lamp of candelabra type, the combination with the lampstandard proper, of a hollow body divided centrally parallel to itsface, each member being provided with an upwardly extending neck portionandlaterallyextending wing portions, opposing edge flanges extendingfrom the ex- .tremity of each neck portion to the extremity firmlysecuring such body to is an upwardly extending standard rod threaded atits lower end as indicated at 36, such threaded end being-screwed intothe ot' the corresponding wing and along the up per edge oi: the member,and an edge flange extending from the extremity of the lower neck to thebase of the wing to form lateral orifices, a. boss formed in the halforifice of orifice 26. The standard rod 35 is provided with a finial end37 which is one member so as to extend into the half ori- -fice of theopposed member when the parts connected to the main body of the rod by auniversaljoint 38 shown in detail in Figure 3. which a shade issupported in the usual man- By this means the upper end or finial on normay be tilted in any desired direction so" as to carry the shadehorizontally over to any required position.

From this description it will be seen that I have devised a very simplestructure for standard lamps of candelabra type which may be readilyassembled or disassembled whenever desired, which will be cheap tomanufacture and strong and durable in construction.

What I claim as my invention is r '1. In a standard lamp of candelabratype,

are secured together, candle fixtures, and a screw extending througheach fixture into a corresponding boss.

3. In a standard the combination with the lamp standard proper, of ahollow body divided centrally parallel to its face, each member beingprovided withan upwardly extending neck portion and laterally extendingwing portions,

opposing edge flanges extending from the extremity of each neck portionto the extremity of the corresponding wing and along the upper edge ofthe member, and an edge flan ge extending from the extremity of thelower neck to the baseof the wing to form laterah orifices, a bossformed in the half orifice of the combination with the lamp standard.

with an upwardly extending proper provided of an inverted cup fittingreduced portion,

'upon such reduced portion and suitably SL- cured thereto and having acentral internally threaded orifice in its upper or base portion, anipple threaded into such orifice so as to project upwardly therefrom, ahollow body having upper and lower vertical orifices into the lower oneof which the aforesaid nipple is adapted to be screwed, a pair of candlefixtures, means for securing a candle fixture at each side of the body,and a shade supportone member so as to extend into the-half orihce olthe opposed member when the parts are I secured together, candlefixtures, a screw extending through each fixture into a correspondingboss, a collar like portion formed .at the upper and lower extremity ofthe neck portions of one member to overlap the corrc- 1 spondmg neckportlons of the other member, 7

neck for securing it to the lamp standard, and a shade supportingstandard extending into lamp of candelabra type.

means extending into the collar of the lower the collar of the upperneck. I V I JACOB H. BAE'IZ.
